He appealed to the governor and the people of Lagos to allow the Assembly adequate time for a thorough review of the budget, given its significant impact on the lives of the citizens.


“We will not delay the passage of the budget, but we will ensure that the interests of Lagosians are safeguarded, socially, economically, and politically,” Obasa stated.
